Why Shimonoseki?
Shimonoseki is a historic port city at the western tip of Japan's main island, where people, goods, and cultures have crossed for centuries. Today, it is transforming once again — this time through renovation and creativity.
Across the city, empty buildings and traditional townhouses are being reborn as coworking hubs, cafés, artist studios, and community spaces. Local creators, architects, and entrepreneurs are working hand-in-hand to design new lifestyles that blend history with innovation. Turning vacant spaces into vibrant centers for collaboration, culture, and exchange.
Here, digital nomads can connect with local makers, join community events, and co-create ideas that give new life to the city. Shimonoseki is more than a destination — it is a living port of ideas, where tradition meets the future, and where your creativity can find a home.
